Under My Skin

Are the days done now

Am I allowed to speak my mind

How I wish I could

This promise I bind to you and myself

My life has purpose

A self-destructing meaning

Only two things keep me moving

Forgiveness and believing

I think I'll lock myself up inside

Continue in this charade of pretend

Name you something and name me different

Every time it's new again

Fragrant little letters

Ink on both sides never had so much meaning before

Blissful meanings that tickle my inner being

Your life written down for me to see

Fleeting words entertain me so vividly

And somehow never lost in the black holes of my room

We'll run away

Rule the world someday

All to say we did

And hand it back so we can live again

And I'm forced to say all this in secret

But a beautiful secret it is

Hidden inside my skin

But a secret it will remain

Until the seal of time is broken
